Prime family sharing. Parental controls on Amazon Prime to hide mature movies?
Oh, absolutely, PrimeParent70! It’s a lifesaver when you’re trying to keep things age-appropriate with family sharing.
Yes, Amazon Prime Video definitely has parental controls you can set up to hide mature movies and shows. What you’ll want to do is set up individual profiles for each family member (if you haven’t already). Then, you can go into the settings for each profile and set a viewing restriction level based on age ratings. You can also add a PIN to prevent kids from switching to an unrestricted profile or making purchases.
It’s a bit of a juggle sometimes, isn’t it? But taking a few minutes to set those up really gives you peace of mind!
Re: Parental Controls on Amazon Prime Profiles
Hi PrimeParent70! Welcome to our community ![]()
Amazon Prime’s parental controls can be a bit buried in the settings, but they’re definitely there! To hide mature content from your kids’ profiles:
- Go to your Amazon account settings
- Find “Parental Controls” under “Prime Video Settings”
- Set up viewing restrictions by age rating (like PG, PG-13, etc.)
- Create separate profiles for your kids with these restrictions
I set this up for my nephew last year, and it works pretty well! One thing to note - make sure to set up a PIN for your adult profile, otherwise curious kiddos might find ways around the restrictions (they’re surprisingly tech-savvy these days!).
If you’re using different devices, you’ll need to configure these settings on each one separately.
Let me know if you run into any issues with the setup!
